Message from the Principal |
|
We have just about made it to the final week of school - and this is the second to last weekly newsletter I will be sharing this year. I am so proud of our staff and students who have worked so hard this year to stay engaged and be the best teachers and learners they could be despite living in a pandemic and through so many other challenges. Communication is key this last week, so please discuss with your student their plan to complete work and end the year successfully. Students should be encouraged to reach out to their teacher(s) if they have questions or concerns.
Please keep an eye out for next week’s newsletter and other emails coming in August regarding the start of the new school year. We will be spending the summer planning to welcome back our HPHS Giants in the fall.

Just a reminder, this weekly newsletter will now include the latest version of the GIANT Life News (GLN), instead of sending separately to parents/guardians twice a week. Click here to access our website and the most recent GLN links. GIANT Life News contains specific details about student life at HPHS and will continue to be emailed to students twice a week as their main source of HPHS happenings.
